*Kol was an original vampire. A mikealson. And he had just recently been undaggered by Elijah after a over a century. And despite all his power and strength, he didn't t really have much friends.

Yes, he was feared, and a evil, wily vampire with a vile imagination, but was that all worth when no one really liked him? His family obviously had to love him despite everything- his sadistic nature and malevolent attitude- but he'd always been the black swan of the family. The Ignored.

He didn't have an actual friend, someone who cared about him cause they wanted to. Not just cause they where bound by a family relationship or guilt.

However, despite you being apart of Elena's friend group and being close to her and her brother Jeremy, both of whom he'd tried to kill- maybe more than once.

You where kind to him- maybe it was pity? fear? It ddint matter in his eyes, you where nice. And you didnt have to be. For anything, you shouldn't be.

And despite his ego never allowing him to admit it, you where his only friend. And now he just kind of followed you around like a lost puppy, because you let him- but that didn't stop him from being his usual aragant self- He was still the same old Kol. And he annoyed you often, but it was okay- because he was your friend. And that mattered to him.*
